BABYMONSTER released behind-the-scenes footage of their new song “WE GO UP” on the 3rd, once again sharing with fans the emotional moment when they seized first place.
Gathered in the Mnet “M Countdown” waiting room, BABYMONSTER warmed up their voices and busily practiced choreography. Their nervous looks ahead of their comeback first-week stage were brief; the members drew cheers with deep hip-hop swagger and powerful performances, and they repeatedly monitored themselves to raise their level of perfection.
In the subsequent live broadcast, BABYMONSTER took home the first-place trophy by scoring highly in areas such as music, albums and social media. In particular, their debut encore stage drew attention for its solid live skills that evoked the recorded track, with ear-catching rapping, unwavering vocals and explosive high-note ad-libs.
Having longed for an encore stage with fans, BABYMONSTER poured all their energy into it as if washing away their thirst, and soon their eyes reddened. The members sincerely said, “It was such a happy moment. We are so grateful to Monsties (the fandom name) for letting us receive this award. We will continue to grow as BABYMONSTER.”
The emotion continued at the pre-recording site of MBC “Show! Music Core.” During the talk time, BABYMONSTER performed the mini album track “WILD” a cappella, and the audience responded with lightstick wave cheering, sharing the joy. Afterwards, they enjoyed lingering moments, smiling warmly as they soaked in a surprise party prepared by the staff.
Meanwhile, after returning on the 10th of last month with mini album 2 [WE GO UP], BABYMONSTER has continued its rise in popularity, receiving praise for perfect live performances on music shows, radio and YouTube. The title track music video surpassed 100 million views on YouTube at the fastest pace among K-pop artists this year, and the performance video reached the same view count 14 days after its release.
